Frequently Asked Questions

What size cases do these latches fit?

These latches measure 2.35" long by 1.35" wide, making them ideal for guitar cases and smaller road cases. The 0.135" mounting holes work with standard case hardware screws. They're sized for cases where you need secure closure without bulky hardware that might catch on other gear.

Do mounting screws come included with these latches?

No, mounting hardware is not included with the SARHW38 latches. This allows you to choose screws that match your case material thickness and existing hardware. Most guitar cases and road cases use standard wood screws or machine screws depending on the case construction.

How do two-piece latches compare to single-piece designs?

Two-piece latches like these distribute closing force across multiple mounting points, making them more secure and durable than single-piece designs. The separate catch and latch components allow for better alignment and reduce stress on the case material, especially important for frequently opened cases.

Can I use these on homemade or custom cases?

Yes, these latches work well for custom case projects. The standard 0.135" mounting holes and compact size make them versatile for DIY guitar cases, equipment boxes, and pro audio transport cases. Just ensure your case material is thick enough to support the mounting screws securely.

Will the nickel finish hold up to regular transport use?

The nickel finish provides good corrosion resistance and maintains its appearance through normal case handling and transport. While not as durable as chrome plating, nickel offers solid protection against moisture and wear for cases that aren't subjected to extreme conditions.
